Our Mission
Catholic Daughters of the Americas strives to embrace the principle of faith working through love in the promotion of justice, equality, and the advancement of human rights and human dignity for all.
Our Two-Fold Purpose:
The integration of spirituality and service is the foundation of the Catholic Daughters.
CDA helps women develop their spirituality and provides avenues of service to live out that spirituality. The CDA gives members a unique opportunity to share their faith with other Catholic women.
Helping others through charitable acts in the spirit of Jesus Christ is the heart of our organization.
“Spirituality and Service”: the heart and soul foundation of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
Why Join the Catholic Daughters of the Americas?Worship together, pray together and help each other be the best Catholic women we can possibly be.||Enjoy each other’s company, both in meetings and in shared spiritual and charitable endeavors.||Give our time, energy, stewardship, and financial backing to help others in the service of Christ.||Donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.”
